Baumeister, Smith Earn All-ACC Honors.

May 22, 2023

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Starting pitcher Jackson Baumeister and third baseman Cam Smith earned All-ACC recognition Monday as the league announced its end-of-year honors. Baumeister, a sophomore pitcher, was a third-team starting pitcher, while Smith was named to the All-Freshman Team.

Baumeister, from Jacksonville, finished 5-5 with a 5.09 ERA and 95 strikeouts in 69.0 innings. Baumeister started all 14 weekends and finished third in the league in strikeouts and was second in the ACC and 21st nationally with 12.39 strikeouts per nine innings. He was named the ACC and National Pitcher of the Week for his 14-strikeout performance against Clemson, leading the Noles to the series-opening victory. In his final appearance of the year, Friday at Louisville, Baumeister overcame an early deficit and pitched a career-high 8.0 innings as FSU rallied from a 4-0 hole to a 7-4 win.

Baumeister's 14 strikeouts were the most in a game for an ACC pitcher this season, and tied for eighth-most nationally. No Seminole pitcher has thrown more in a game since 2006.

Smith, from Lake Worth, Florida, hit .258 with eight doubles, a team-high five triples and 12 home runs. He finished second on the team in home runs, runs (39) and walks (21) and was third on the team in hits (54) and RBI (36).

Smith's five triples were the most for a Seminole freshman since 2014, and his 12 home runs were the most for a freshman since 2004. He is the first Seminole since Dylan Busby in 2016 with at least five triples and 12 home runs in a season. He became the first FSU player since Buster Posey in 2008 with back-to-back multi-home run games, when he did it against North Florida and Virginia Tech last month.

Against the Ospreys, Smith was 4-for-6 with two home runs, three RBI and five runs scored, the most runs in a game for a Seminole since Taylor Walls in 2017. Smith tied a school record with two triples against No. 4 Florida in Jacksonville. Twice this season Smith had at least three RBI, three hits and three runs in a game - against North Florida and at Jacksonville in his first career road game.

Smith started 51 of 54 games at third base.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Florida State (1-0) began the 2023 season with a 7-3 win over James Madison (0-1) on Friday night in Link Jarrett's first game as the head coach of the Seminoles.

Crowell then took command of the mound shutting down the Dukes side with four punchouts in the next two innings.

Connor Whittaker earned his third career win as he worked the final five innings while Colton Vincent broke a 1-1 tie in the sixth inning with his first career home run.

He then retired the next four batters to make it six straight and finished the start with 4.0 innings of work on 60 pitches, striking out five hitters and conceding one run on two hits.

Whittaker pitched the remaining 5.0 innings on 72 pitches with four swinging strikeouts to notch his first win at home since April of last season against Florida.

Fifteen Hits Lead Noles Past Jacksonville.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Florida State's (4-0) offense continued to shine Tuesday, recording 15 hits and scoring 11 runs in an 11-2 victory over Jacksonville (1-3) Tuesday night at John Sessions Stadium. Freshman DeAmez Ross tallied his second three-hit game of the season, while Cam Smith and Jordan Carrion both had three hits and three RBI in the evening.

The Seminoles are now averaging 11.3 runs per game this season. After the Dolphins took a 2-0 lead on a home run in the bottom of the second inning, FSU responded with five runs in the third and three more in the fourth inning. The only hit allowed by FSU freshman Ben Barrett was Chandler Howard's home run, and he struck out a batter in 2.0 innings in his collegiate debut.

Brennen Oxford (1-0) held Jacksonville off the board after FSU took the lead, working around an error in the third and a double in the fourth to strand runners. Along with Ross's three-hit day, Smith had a two-run double and solo home run, his second of the year; James Tibbs III tied the game on a two-run double; Carrion had three hits to improve to 10-for-16 on the year; and Jordan Williams had his first two hits of the season, including a two-run home run.

FORT WORTH, Texas - Florida State (5-0) beat No. 8 TCU (3-2) 10-1 Friday night at Lupton Stadium behind a strong performance from starting pitcher Jackson Baumeister (1-0). The sophomore - making his fourth career start and first on a Friday night - set career highs with 5.2 innings pitched and eight strikeouts, allowing just one hit.

Noles Clinch Series at No. 8 TCU.

FORT WORTH, Texas - The Florida State bats stayed hot Saturday, mashing 13 hits and 10 more runs to beat No. 8 TCU, 10-8, for the second consecutive game to clinch the series. Jaime Ferrer hit a pair of home runs and led FSU with three hits and four RBI, while Andrew Armstrong earned his first career save with 2.0 innings of one-run baseball.

Freshman Cam Smith had his second three-hit game of the season and connected on his third home run, most on the team. After TCU cut the lead to 5-4 in the sixth inning, Smith's home run started a five-run top of the seventh for the Noles that provided FSU's final runs.

TCU took an early lead against FSU starter Jamie Arnold, a freshman making his first career start on the road. The Horned Frogs' first three batters of the game reached base, taking a 1-0 lead on Kurtis Byrne's single.

Noles Top Wildcats, Prepare for ACC Play.

TALLAHASSEE, Florida - Florida State (9-3) was all business with 17 hits in a 10-1 midweek win over Bethune-Cookman (8-5) on Tuesday evening at Dick Howser Stadium. Ryan Denison (1-1) earned his first career win, coming in relief for 2.0 innings while James Tibbs III and Cam Smith each hit a home run and accounted for half of the runs on the night.

Tibbs III had 15 hits coming into the game and continued his superb offensive performance, drawing two walks to start before doubling into right to score a run then crushing a 2-2 pitch into deep center. Smith had a homer in his first plate appearance for the game's first run and later hit a single to push his hit count to 14, leading the Seminole freshmen.

David Barrett made his first career Seminole start on the mound off a strong relief outing against South Florida. The Sarasota native flew through the first few innings, retiring seven straight batters to begin the game. He finished his start after 2.1 innings with two strikeouts and conceded no hits. Andrew Armstrong finished off the third inning.

Denison came in for his fifth appearance of the season and worked a strong 2.0 innings. He forced a multitude of fielding putouts and allowed just two hits on 24 pitches. Taking the pitching reins next was another freshman making his fifth appearance in Jamie Arnold. Just like his fellow freshman, he worked 2.0 innings himself and struck out three Wildcats.

Brandon Walker and Drake Flowers split the final two innings to close out the rout. Walker made his second appearance this season and struck out one en route to a comfortable inning while Flowers made his first collegiate appearance on the mound and finished with two punchouts.

Smith gave the Seminoles the lead on the second at-bat of the game and never looked back with an offensive explosion of ten singles, three doubles, a triple, and three home runs. Not only did they provide high output but were also consistent, knocking a hit in all eight innings.

This is the eighth game out of 12 where Florida State has racked up double-digit runs. The 17 hits stand as the second-most hits in a game by the team this season.

Noles Open ACC Play with 12-Inning Walk-Off Win.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - No. 21 Florida State (10-3, 1-0 ACC) opened conference play Friday with a 3-2 win over Pitt (7-7, 0-1) on Jordan Carrion's 12th-inning walk-off single. The Seminoles did not record a hit from the 7th to the 11th innings, but ended the game with three singles and an intentional walk in the 12th inning.

Carrion was 0-for-5 entering the 12th inning, but made two spectacular double plays to end the 11th and 12th innings. Both balls were hit up the middle; Carrion fielded cleanly, stepped on second base and threw to Cade Bush at first base.

Cam Smith was also 0-for-5 before his leadoff single in the 12th inning. James Tibbs III - who drew four walks, one shy of the school record - followed with a single that put runners on the corners, and Jaime Ferrer was intentionally walked. The Panthers brought in leftfielder AJ Nessler as a fifth infielder, but Carrion's single split the shortstop and third baseman for the winning run.

The victory capped a strong pitching performance for the Seminoles - starting pitcher Jackson Baumeister set a career high with nine strikeouts in 5.0 innings, and Conner Whittaker set career highs with 5.1 innings pitched and nine strikeouts. Doug Kirkland forced the 11th-inning double play to his first batter faced; Jamie Arnold (1-0) earned his first collegiate victory by forcing the 12th-inning double play to the only batter he faced.

Both starting pitchers -Baumeister and Pitt's Jack Sokol - held the other team off the board for the first three innings, and each had five strikeouts. The Noles stranded four baserunners in that span, while a pair of Panthers were left on base in the first third of the game.

Pitt took a 1-0 lead in the fourth. Noah Martinez led off the inning with a double and came around to score on Nessler's two-out single.

Florida State had multiple chances to strike against Sokol, but the Noles stranded two runners each frame from the second through fifth innings and 11 for the game. FSU finally capitalized in the sixth inning, chasing Sokol after a Colton Vincent single, wild pitch and an RBI single from Bush. Former Seminole Dylan Simmons allowed an RBI double to Nander De Sedas that plated Bush and gave FSU its first lead.

The Panthers tied the game on a pair of singles and an RBI groundout in the eighth against Whittaker.

Crowell, Seminoles Clinch Series vs. Pitt.

TALLAHASSEE, Florida - Making his first career start, Wyatt Crowell struck out a career-high 10 batters over 6.0 innings as Florida State (11-3, 2-0 ACC) clinched its series with Pitt (7-8, 0-2) with a 5-3 win Saturday in front of a sell-out crowd of 6,300 at Dick Howser Stadium.

Crowell (3-0) allowed three hits in six shutout innings, lowering his season ERA to 0.87. His 10 strikeouts are the most for a Seminole this season, and the junior became the fourth Nole to earn his first career start on the mound this season, joining freshmen Ben Barrett and Jamie Arnold and junior David Barrett.

After retiring Buster Posey's jersey in a pregame ceremony - just the fourth in program history - the Seminoles raced out to a 4-0 lead after an inning of work. Titan Kamaka and James Tibbs III walked, followed by a Jaime Ferrer RBI single; a Jordan Carrion RBI double; and a two-run Cam Smith single. Pitt starter Kyle Mosley (0-2) allowed just two more hits and no more runs over 5.1 innings.

The Panthers best opportunity against Crowell came in the fourth inning, when they had the bases loaded and no outs after a pair of walks and a base hit. Crowell responded by striking out the next two hitters looking and forcing a dribbler to the mound, retiring the runner at the plate and escaping with the shutout in tact.

Pitt got on the board with a pair of runs against the FSU bullpen in the seventh inning, but freshman Jamie Arnold left the bases loaded with a strikeout to maintain the 4-2 advantage. The Noles answered with an unearned run on a throwing error in the bottom of the inning.

The Panthers scored a run and loaded the bases in the ninth inning, but Andrew Armstrong earned his second career save by striking out the final batter of the game.
